Held in the Mystery
A Latihan Retreat
Austin Texas
August 14th-17th 2026
Held in the Mystery is three days of luxury, nourishment and life as Latihan.
What to Expect
A delicious pause from the pace of everyday life. Let yourself be fully held in the mystery as you slow down, unwind, reconnect and return to yourself through guided experiences, restorative space, and time to simply be.
❋ Intentional Structure
Each day is thoughtfully designed to guide you deeper through a blend of facilitated experiences, open exploration, and spacious integration.
You’ll leave this weekend feeling resourced and nourished.
❋ Life as Latihan
For this weekend…
Latihan becomes the way you live. How you move. How you eat. How you listen. How you relate.
The Mystery isn’t something you visit—it’s the moment by moment unfolding of life itself.
❋ Experiential Facilitation
You’ll be guided through immersive practices designed to awaken presence, unearth authenticity, and invite you into direct relationship with the mystery.
We are here to create the conditions for truth to emerge. Your body leads. We support.
❋ Reverent + Spacious
This is a space of depth, beauty, slowness and awe. A time to imbibe in the gorgeousness all around.
We will move with care for ourselves, our bodies and each other, honoring the exquisite now.
Let's slow wayyyyyy down together

What is Latihan?
Latihan is a blindfolded movement meditation in which we close our eyes and open to inner wisdom and the medicine of the mystery.
We wear blindfolds as a symbol of stepping into the unknown, though the truth is that every moment of our lives is an unfolding of the unknown.
We do this to practice:
embracing the mystery that is life
s l o w i n g down + getting present
stepping outside of the identities that keep us stuck
releasing attachment + aversion + and agenda
letting go of DOING in exchange for BEING
Latihan is sensual, embodied, contemplative and can actually be quite psychedelic. We love how it offers a never ending and ever shifting kaleidoscope of lessons and exploration.
When you really GET this practice it supports you to ride the wild ride of life with more delight and less resistance. Yes please.

Welcome to
the Venue of our DREAMs
Nestled in the Texas Hill Country this luxury retreat center offers panoramic 360 views, gorgeous swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, cold plunge and truly stunning accommodations.
Designed with intention, thoughtfulness and elegance this space will invite you into relaxation and reverence.
Choose from spacious king suites with private baths, or shared rooms designed for connection, comfort, and a more accessible entry point.
We are so excited to unwind in the beauty of this space with you…
Who is this for?
Whether you’ve been here a while or you’re brand new to this space, we welcome you.
-
To our knowledge Move in the Mystery offers the longest standing continuous Latihan practice in North America!!
We’ve cultivated an amazing community of Latihan devotees and we designed this retreat specifically for YOU.
If Latihan has already become part of your life, this retreat is an invitation to deepen. Come to slow down even further and to explore what becomes possible when slowness, presence, beauty, connection, and mystery are woven into everyday life.
-
You do not need prior experience to attend this retreat.
If you’ve only come once or twice, or have yet to experience the magic that is Latihan, you are welcome here.
One of the reasons we created this space is to encourage folks who’ve heard about Latihan, but have yet to try it, to make their way to Austin for a deep dive with us.
-
This retreat is an invitation to soften your grip on control and remember what it feels like to be here, as the vast being that you are, wrapped in the soft animal of your body that you get to wear for who knows how long.
This space is for those who desire depth and reverence, those who know that the present moment is a medicine unto itself. For the ones longing to return to the body, to sensation, to intuition, to slowness, to awe.
-
Latihan, while simple, is quite an advanced practice that explores sensuality and can involve touch while blindfolded.
If you have deep seated traumas, difficulty expressing boundaries, a tendency towards a freeze response, or an inability to down-regulate yourself please reach out to Kayla at (512)766-8667 to discuss if this is the right fit for you.
What’s Included

What’s Included *

One of our highest values at Move in the Mystery is beauty. We’re not talking about the superficial. What we mean goes bone deep. Beauty as a symbol of reverence and gratitude. Beauty as a celebration of life.
This venue definitely reflects that value. Unfurl into this gorgeous space designed for both comfort and connection.
With amenities like a pool, hot tub, and sauna, the space itself becomes part of the experience—supporting deep rest, nervous system reset, and softening into the body.
Accommodations range from private king suites with en-suite bathrooms to thoughtfully curated shared rooms for a more accessible option. Rooms are reserved on a first come first serve basis.
-
Enjoy three nourishing, high-quality meals each day, crafted with care to support your body throughout the weekend.
Meals are an experience in themselves: a time to slow down, savor, connect, and receive.
We’ll also weave in a sensual, blindfolded eating experience to awaken your senses in a whole new way. -
You’ll be guided through a range of experiences designed to deepen your connection to yourself, your body, and the Mystery.
Our time together will include Latihan journeys, movement practices, live music, ritual space, and teachings to help you integrate the wisdom from your practice more deeply into your everyday life.
-
Move in the Mystery is more than an events company—it’s a community. We are so grateful for the beautiful beings (that’s you!) that make each practice vibrant.
Something shifts when we slow down together.
Without the usual roles, masks, tasks and distractions connection becomes simpler, more authentic, and more resonant.
You may find yourself feeling seen and expressed in ways that surprise you.
-
Who else would like to press pause on the hustle?
At this retreat not every moment is scheduled. One of our intentions for this time is to create generous space for you to rest, reflect, integrate, and follow your own rhythm—whether that looks like journaling, napping, soaking in the hot tub, or simply doing nothing at all.
This is where the deeper shifts often land.
